This chapter explores the complexities of hormone replacement therapy, particularly focusing on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and the necessity of thorough lab testing before treatment. The discussion emphasizes the importance of identifying underlying health issues rather than immediately relying on synthetic hormones, detailing the physiological effects of supplementation on natural hormone production.
